Hmmm...   You must have had 16x the normal fuel capacity, also unless you used 800 kt tailwinds.:D

The sunrise picture above is me on that particular flight.  I can't explain why (I have no data to compare to) but I landed with almost 2 hours of fuel in the tanks as well.  Preeeetty sure it doesn't have that much range if it needs a fuel stop to make phoenix from new york :)

Yup,
For a little comparision data, I used to fly DC10s  which cruise at Mach .84 (a lot faster than a Citation II).  It took us about ten hours to fly nonstop from Honolulu to Manilla, PI and Hong Kong is at least two hours farther.  Maybe the Sim doesn't calculate any fuel burn while in the 16x mode. :)

We prolly could have made Hong Kong to Honolulu in the winter in about 11.5 hours with an hour reserve carrying 37,690 gallons (245,000 lbs) of fuel.

Would love to see your airports & get local tips on the best approaches.



I used to live on Baker St Costa Merasa  about the way point out  but left of JW Airport / Orange County Airport.  That bronze is is too big.

Err is this shot is from the south

It was calculating it properly...I had some interesting fuel consumption though (it doesn't seem right)

I had rougly 2400lbs/side loaded for 4800lbs of FOB

400PPH on takeoff, accelerate to 250KIAS and climb 4000ft/min through 10.  From there I switch to V/S as my primary means of airspeed control and 2500ft/min keeps me below redline.  Maintain 95-96% N2 pulling back as I climb to maintain N2 and not exceed engine limitations.  Through 15,000 Fuel Flow drops to around 200pph/side and gets all the way down to 100pph/side. (as you can see in the picture level FL430)  Frankly...15 gallons an hour seems a little low but what do I know.  I passed this on to my buddy who flew C-550's and 560's and now drives a Citation X and Lr-35 and I'm curious to see what he says.  I might have to handicap my full fuel to correspond properly with time :)

Good thing I have no desire to fly airliners...keeping track of all that fuel would get confusing :p

Short work on finding some real Citation II numbers...

Climb Schedule for C-550:

220 KIAS to 10,000 from there flying an AOA to your selected altitude

For the C-560 (Citation V or V Ultra) use 250KIAS to 10.

Fuel Burn:
1600lbs for the first hour
1400 Second
1200 Third

Once you were up at cruise altitude, a "going somewhere" cruise altitude rather than a short flight you could expect 12-1300lbs/hr total fuel burn.

I'll send a note to the Eaglesoft guys and find out whats going on :)

I guess my climbing at 250KIAS at 4000ft/min through 10,000 isn't true either.  At 220 you'd be lucky to get 2000/min to 15,000 and then it dropped off.
